Fox just announced the addition of Milo Ventimiglia to the cast of season one’s Gotham. According to the network, Ventimiglia will play Jason Lennon (the Ogre). In the casting announcement, Fox pointed out that this ‘Ogre’ is not the ‘Ogre’ from the DC Comics.
Ventimiglia’s character will appear this season and will have a significant role in a “multiple-episode recurring arc.” Gotham airs on Mondays at 8pm, and we can expect to see the Ogre first appearing in episode 19.
Here’s how Fox describes Jason Lennon aka the Ogre: “Handsome, wealthy and seductive, the Ogre is a serial killer who has been preying on the young women of Gotham for nearly a decade, luring them into his web and confronting them with a series of ‘tests’ as he searches for his perfect mate. When the women fail to live up to his impossible standard, Lennon disposes of them quickly and viciously. His obsessions, combined with Gordon’s determination to bring him down, send both Gordon and Lennon — and those around them — on a course toward tragedy.”
